Which shows that upper management's personal data is exposed. Like credit card accounts,their personal calendar, the bills they pay etc. This is a tactic a white hat buddy of mine usesand it works like a charm. Security is "blah blah blah" until some executive's credit cardnumber is threatened to be exposed on the open internet.

Other than that, you have to consider it from their perspective, it still does it's job. Youcould push it over the edge by proposing new functionality that will intentionally breakit, thus moving them to fire fighting mode. Other than that, it's really a social problemand requires a social solution, not a technical one.

What's the quote? "Idle hands are the Devil's work at play". Once the whole making a living thingis out of the way you're really left with your character. If it was lacking to begin with then the problemis just exasperated, the contrary is also true. Really, all that's left is your moral compass and whatmotivates you as a person. No one is immune from this. The saying that money changes peopleis only addressing the symptom, money allows people to express themselves as they truly are.

You clearly have never fired a gun or have any idea of what the self-defense laws look like in the U.S. Even with Castle Doctrine laws, you are only authorized to use force if you are in imminent target of lethal or non-lethal force. Shooting people in the back as they take off with someone else's property is completely unjustified, as you not in danger. Before you continue dramatically dreaming up events to justify your philosophy, think about the hard working, law abiding citizen, who is just about to lose everything he ever will be (his life) from not complying with the muggers demands vs bankrupting his future defending his life in court.

Stuff like this should never happen, had that lawyer not stepped in to defend this man for free he would be bankrupt, and perhaps worse, plead out to a lesser crime. All because he refused to turn his back on a man with a knife.

You don't appear to be aware that the SCOTUS ruling where the police are in fact not responsible for yourpersonal safety.

In the end, who was really responsible for the lives of those 3 children? Now dead. The mother who wasn't keeping an eyeon them, or the police who failed to enforce the restraining order on the estranged husband in a timely matter?

I would get annoyed if people regularly used the summit area to goofoff with video cameras or any other tech for that matter. Even talking ona cell phone up there will net you many dirty looks. Mt. Monadnock isone of the most frequently scaled mountains in the world, it can getcrowded up there. Were folks to make putting on little shows like thison a regular basis it would get old real fast and spoil the natural beautyof the area.

The licensing proposed wasn't punitive to the point where the averageperson couldn't meet the burden. When I'm out there, it's to enjoy nature,and not be the subject of every film student or bored hippee trying to score hitson youtube or drum up publicity for their business.

The licensing is meant to curb the frequency of these events andkeep the state park focused on it's primary goals. It is *not* ageneral use area, you can't even camp or start a fire on themountain.

Instead of...1) an adaptive traffic phasing (that's the term for light changes) system2) creating a tunnel for the dominant traffic route under the rotary3) changing the traffic in that area entirely

A roundabout is used instead. It costs very little to maintain, and there'sno lights to change. Its sad though, once these choke pointspop up drivers resort to driving in the surrounding, heavily settledback roads, as fast as they can get away with. Which just createsmore safety problems.

After visiting Europe often, it struck me that when the new world wasformed that none of the city planners got on the first boats:(. Americaneeds better city planning, and then things like better public transportationand less cars will follow.

Sony thought they could raise the bar for disposable income and failed. I've got a plasmaset, a game console or two, and an upsampling DVD player and don't feel like I'mmissing a thing. If I was, I sure as heck don't love any move enough to spend 25-35bucks to bring it home. The value just isn't there. Coupled with the trend of recycledideas from Hollywood and the increasing penetration of reality tv, the set of stuffI'm willing to own on disc keeps getting smaller.

If they stop the pricing nonsense and make them as cheap as DVDs then theycould see some real market penetration.

Yeah, but you're presupposing that Apple is a fair platformto begin with. I used to an Apple user for over 5 years butI refused to stay with them after they enacted the "powermac tax"where I had to spend an extra $1000 just to have a PCI slot. I'vebeen an exclusive Linux user for the better part of a decade now.

You're right about the App store lock in, but it's not againstthe law to make profits. Overall, I don't "get" the iPad and thevalue proposition it's selling, it ought to cost half as much withthe restrictions that come along with it. It reminds me more ofa kindle than anything else. Vote with your dollars and tryto promote the JooJoo instead which seems to fully support Flashand Java.

Also, the App store as it currently stands doesn't make up ahuge portion of Apple's current revenue but with theintroduction of this, the continued success of the iphone, andthe likely Kindle like integration for "songs on demand" forthe next gen iPod and support for the app store; the app store'sshare of revenue will continue to grow with no limit in sight.

Thank you for spelling out the conclusions Apple likely made (internally) leading up to the decision not to support flash onit's initial release and brain storming some possible solutions. I don't see why the problem you've defined is anything morethan just another engineering challenge. The web is a pretty elastic place, I'm sure it'll evolve as touch screen interfacesbecome more mainstream. I encourage you to view this as an opportunity to make a ton of money instead of a crisis.

I'm a big fan re-writing notes, it forces you to re-examine the stuff that didn't totally sink induring lecture. Rewriting them in digital form makes it that much more portable, cleaner, andyou can bring your friends up to speed faster. Engineering notebooks (wire bound) plus a goodmechanical pencil was what I settled while I was an engineering student. Couple re-writingthe notes in digital form with a audio recording of the lecture and you're golden. Alternatively,you can scan your notes in and then annotate them.

Then you should never step foot on a commercial air liner again. The article is over generalizingand essentially amounts to fear mongering. I've personally experienced having a throttle cablesnap, thank God it failed closed, I've heard stories that went the other way... Control system failureshappen, the least we can expect from the manufacturers is that they fail safe. "drive by wire" is in essencea good thing. So say the next time the pedal fails, the system could determine a fault occurredand cut the throttle; it might even turn your hazards on in the future to alert the drivers around you.

You'll find that once you start working that there's nothing youcan't pick up by reading a few books. Unless you want to be an engineerforever (it's a burn out industry), I'd suggest that you start workingon your MBA after say 4-5 years in the field. By the time you're finishedyou'll easily have the chops to be a project manager (at the very least a team lead) and then something more.

That is unless you have some idea you're passionate about that you want to pursue a thesis with, in which case you should pursue a PhD and not a Masters.
